In Li City's Plum Garden, Mu Xi sat in the most picturesque courtyard with his legs up on a table, a good-looking servant boy massaging his calves, as he idly played with a gold-plated ball. Beside him stood a guard, reporting in detail Zhao Family's actions from the shadows and the arrogance Mrs. Xiao Zheng displayed upon entering the city.
"Looks like this Zhao Ping really thinks of Li City as his own turf, oh wait, actually as Meng Family's?" Mu Xi scoffed in disdain, "But how could such a trivial Deputy Magistrate dare to indulge Mrs. Xiao Zheng's arrogance and tyranny without Meng Family's backing and the usual weight of his office?"
He didn't care whether the Qin Family that was sent back to Li City was innocent or not; he just needed to look at the Zhao Family's behavior to glimpse their usual conduct.
